Evelyn stared at Victoria with complete disbelief in her wide eyes.
Evelyn: He staged the whole theft just to file a fraudulent insurance claim?
Victoria: He hid the ring inside his own tuxedo pocket before the argument started.
Victoria pulled a small silver flash drive from her purse and slid it across.
Victoria: This is a copy of the security video footage from the ballroom camera.
Evelyn picked up the heavy metal flash drive and held it tightly in hand.
Evelyn: Why are you giving this to me instead of protecting your own husband?
Victoria: Because blaming a young innocent child crosses a line I cannot support.
Victoria stood up from the table and pulled her dark coat around her shoulders.
Victoria: Take that file straight to the police station before Richard files his claim.
Evelyn thanked Victoria quickly before running out to her parked automobile.
She placed the silver flash drive into her laptop port on the passenger seat.
The video clip opened up immediately on her bright computer screen monitor.
The angle showed the grand ballroom display table clearly from a high side angle.
At eight o'clock in the video, Richard walked over to the display box alone.
He opened the glass cover carefully and slipped the sparkling ring into his pocket.
Two minutes later, little Sophia walked past the empty table to get her pencil.
Richard then began shouting at the top of his lungs to draw attention.
Evelyn felt tears of sweet relief fill her eyes as she watched the truth play out.
She closed her laptop and started her vehicle to head toward the main precinct.
However, a sudden black luxury SUV pulled directly behind her car on the street.
The heavy SUV blocked her from reversing out of her tight parking spot completely.
Richard stepped out of the driver side of the black vehicle with cold eyes.
